The story of Kamerun
The Norwegian mine hunter Rauma was damaged during the German Invasion of Norway and taken over in April 1940 in Horten. In the same month, the ship was put into German services as mine layer and patrol boat Kamerun (NO 01). Assigned to the harbor guard flotilla in Oslo, the ship stayed in Norwegian waters and returned to Norway in 1945. It was scrapped in 1963.
